Comment 15 Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2015-11-18 20:24:11 UTC 
I've encountered this while testing the installation of Fedora Rawhide 20151117 compose (Xfce Spin). I've also attached a screenshot.

Component's version:
yelp-3.19.1-2.fc24.x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the installer from Xfce's desktop
2. Click the Help button.

Actual results:
1. The help function doesn't work (see the attached screenshot).
2. abrt-cli catches the issue here reported.

Expected results:
1. The help function should work.

This could be a regression of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276226
Comment 17 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-11-18 20:31:23 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 24-final by Fedora user juliuxpigface using the blocker tracking app because:

 This is a clear violation of the "2.2.14 Installer help" Final criteria.

"Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated. "

Comment 18 Petr Schindler 2015-11-23 17:46:01 UTC 
Discussed at 2015-11-23 blocker review meeting: [1]. 

This bug was accepted as F24 Final blocker: This bug clearly violates the final criterion "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated."

Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2015-12-04 23:20:26 UTC 
This crash occurs on first log in after install, too - I think when the little panel of introductory guidance videos and stuff should appear (I guess it's Yelp-driven).

Note that even if this bug is fixed, the user help in Anaconda will still not work due to unrelated https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753443 (which has an unreviewed patch).

Pushed a likely fix for this here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=b3b048906c7378f104b8be4f4889a8e15025fcd1

Screenshot of Help in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session

This still happens for current Fedora development in a GNOME on Xorg session (launch "Files" and then "Help" from the context menu) whereas no crash occurs in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session. In the latter case however, the window is not rendered correctly, see attachment, thus unusable.

This looks like probably a new issue to me worth reporting in a new bug. (Yeah, a third Yelp blocker....)

It's this same crash, in gtkimcontextsimple.c?

The "Problem Reporting" tool returned me (again) to this very bug report; therefore, I suppose it to be the same issue.
